Hello all,

I joined the MGO a few years ago, then thanks to life and elder care, didn't have much time to be on here. I live in Howell, on 10 acres, and my wive and I enjoy the solitude it offers, or at least, it used to. I used to shoot a bit on our property. After the subdivision sprung up next to us I stopped. For one, out of an abundance of safety I haven't wanted to risk ANY chance of a stray round, what with 250+ new houses and families, etc. Second, I didn't want to give any new neighbors who may also be ya-hoos the idea that if they hear gunshots close by that they can shoot into the woods off their back deck. Now I shoot at Peacemakers, a nice little indoor range, and am looking to join a local outdoor club since I have a bit more time on my hands.

You may notice a number of ads I'm placing. I used to collect, mainly vintage C&R WWII stuff. I've started to sell it off little by little. Most of it has been safe queens for the past 25 or so years. I'll be posting a bit more in a couple of days. I also posted for sale various ammo which I later learned didn't work well in my firearms. Most all of that is already sold, and met some great club members in the process face to face already!

How did I learn about MGO? Of all things, I was selling a brand new hot tub cover, and advertised it on Craigslist. The gentleman, a sheriff's deputy from Macomb purchased it. While talking about various topics he mentioned the MGO site. And yes, I did own a 66 Bonneville until two years ago. I was at a car show and a couple approached me. I didn't want to sell it but they offered me a ridiculous amount of money for it, so off it went.

Thanks for the opportunity to be part of a great group!

Welcome to MGO!

You might want to consider joining the Howell Gun Club. It's a private, non-profit organization. Our ranges in include an 8 position indoor heated & ventilated 50 foot and 10 yard outdoor pistol & small caliber (both with retrievable target systems), 100 yard rifle, 300 yard rifle (w/backers at 100 and 200 yards), trap, 5-stand and four (or is it five?) brand new IDPA bays. For $125 per year (no "per hour" BS), it's great club. The website is at howellgunclub dot org. Basic info and membership info can be found there, although I've been told that the site is going to be update very soon.

I'm a home-based FFL right there in your neck of the woods, about a mile from the HGC. Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.
